Michael and Lisa Collins are the pastors of Extraordinary Life Church, which they founded in 2001.  

The Collinses moved from Texas where they served at Lakewood Church under John Osteen. Pastor Osteen imparted the vision for a large world changing church where every believer knows they are loved.  As the leaders of ELC they are passionate about the call of God for ELC to impact the entire Baltimore region.

Both Michael and Lisa are gifted teachers and preachers whose humorous, relevant style is refreshing to everyone that hears them.

Their teaching focuses on faith in the Word of God, the leading of the Holy Spirit and who every believer is in Christ.  

Michael started in ministry at the age of 16 and then went on to attend Rhema Bible Training Center where he met Lisa who is a native of Maryland.  The Collinses have four children including three daughters who serve in ministry with them.

They believe that together we can build a city of faith.
